Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to the last talk in this term's RAM Colloquium Series:

Bottom-up, data-driven descriptions of space and definitions of place
Dr Jorge Gil (Spatial Morphology Group, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden); Friday, 11 February, 11 am CET / 10 am GMT / 6 pm Hong Kong time; virtual event via Zoom

Registration is possible via the following Google Form (the link to the Zoom session will be shared with all registered participants closer to the event):

The RAM Colloquium is a forum for discussing the latest research in the field of geospatial information science. Invited speakers will report on their recent and ongoing work and provide an outlook on major lines and challenges ahead in their respective fields. This time, Dr Jorge Gil from the Spatial Morphology Group of Chalmers University of Technology will deliver a talk entitled "Bottom-up, data-driven descriptions of space and definitions of place". You will find the abstract below and attached. Do not hesitate to forward this message and the attached PDF invitation to your PhD students, colleagues, and anybody who might be interested in the talk and discussion.

We look forward to lively participation and discussion!
René Westerholt and the RAM team


Abstract:

Urban planning and analysis often depart from readily available national, regional, or local statistics associated with administrative subdivisions of the territory. These top-down definitions of space often mask important details and variations that exist on the ground. However, the increasing availability of high-resolution geospatial data covering environmental, functional, economic, or social aspects offers opportunities to develop richer descriptions of the territory. This talk will present bottom-up, data-driven approaches to describe space and define place. It will also reflect on how, in turn, these complex descriptions can be formalised and integrated in digital planning practice, in the context of City Information Modelling.
